E Series BIOSBIOS SETUP UTILITYThe BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOSis set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS environment to operate your notebook.

The BIOS Setup Utility configures:

■ Device control feature parameters, such as changingI/O addresses and boot devices.

■ System Data Security feature parameters, suchas passwords.

Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:

1. Turn on or restart your notebook.

2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appearson the screen. This will open the main menuof the BIOS Setup Utility with the currentsettings displayed.

3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings.

Navigating Through The Setup Utility

The BIOS setup utility consists of seven menus: Main, Advanced, Security, Power, Boot, Info, and Exit. This document explains each menu in turn, including all submenus and setup items.

The following procedures allow you to navigate the setup utility menus:

1. To select a menu, use the cursor keys:

2. To select a field within a menu or a submenu, use the cursor keys:

3. To select the different values for each field, press the [Spacebar] or [+] to change to the next higher selec-tion and [F5] or [-] to go to the next lower selection.

4. To activate a submenu press the [Enter] key.

5. To return to a menu from a submenu, pressthe [Esc] key.

6. To go to the Exit menu from any other menu,press the [Esc] key.

7. Pressing the [F9] key resets all items in the BIOS to the default values.

8. Pressing the [F10] key saves the current configura-tion and exits the BIOS Setup Utility. You will be asked to verify this selection before it is executed.

9. Pressing the [F1] key gives you a general help screen.

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration Change or System Failure

If there has been a change in the system configuration that does not agree with the parameter settings storedin your BIOS memory, or there is a failure in the system, the system beeps and/or displays an error message after the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is nottoo severe, it will give you the opportunity to modifythe settings of the setup utility, as described in the following steps:

1. When you turn on or restart the computer there isa beep and/or the following message appears onthe screen:

Error message - please run SETUP program Press <F1> key to continue, <F2> to run SETUP

P O I N T

Selecting a field causes a help message about that field to be displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.

P O I N T

Pressing the Enter key with the highlight on a selection that is not a submenu or auto selection will cause a list of all options for that item to be displayed. Pressing the Enter key again will select the highlighted choice.

2. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and you want to continue with the boot process and start the operating system anyway, press the [F1] key.

3. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and you want to enter the setup utility, press the [F2] key.

4. When the setup utility starts with a fault present, the system displays the following message:

Warning!

[Continue]

5. Press any key to enter the setup utility. The system will then display the Main Menu with current parameters values.

I/O addresses, DMA channels and Interrupt levelscan be entered in various ways, including via the BIOS setup utility, the control software for the I/O device,or the hardware. If any two ports or devices, serial or parallel, have the same I/O address assigned your notebook will not function normally. Please keep a record of original settings before making any changesin the event that a restoration is required. See your hardware and software documentation as well as the setup utility to determine settings, limitations, etc.

P O I N T

To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings. If you must change the settings, you can call 1-800-8FUJITSU for technical assistance.

Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.

C A U T I O N

A bootable CD-ROM may have either a floppy disk for-mat or a hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is used, the drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk for-mat CD-ROM is used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designa-tions, however, your application software will use the new designations.
